de afwerking mk4-4++ - blablas has that building itch again

It's a long time ago I updated something on this build, been busy with other small projects and fooling around with another new toy, a NS-NXT-5 (lefty).
I also did not feel the urge do something on this build, it's finally starting to itch again so I'm hoping to start doing things with this one later on this month, but first I need to finish my Harley Benton PB-Shorty to MMB-Shorty conversion.

Progress!
I finally spent some time on this build again.{}
Leveled the fingerboard and sanded it up to grain 1000, there are two coats of Danish oil on it now, I need to do one or two more to keep the fingerboard clean and protected when I'm putting in the frets and finish them off.

They look really small. I like the look but have never played a bass with such small frets. It must feel different. I was just looking back trying to find what wood you used on that fretboard. Its gorgeous.

I haven't played one with such small frets either, that's why I went for those, just to find out how they feel.
The fingerboard is indeed padauk, beautiful wood and really nice to work with, the only major disadvantage is the orange dust that seems to get everywhere.

Getting close to my first neck carve, and properly terrified. I've watched tons of videos, no substitute for actually doing it, of course. Surprising how much variety in approach there is. Will stay tuned.
